14th Festival de Casteliers Program Launch

The 14th Festival de Casteliers will be held from March 6-10, 2019. The Festival program will be unveiled on January 24, 2019 during the highly anticipated Happy Hour cocktail at Théâtre Outremont, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

This year, the celebrations will continue on into the evening with the presentation of ERSATZ by the French collective AÏE AÏE AÏE at the Maison internationale des arts de la marionnette (MIAM – International House of Puppetry Arts). ERSATZ is presented in collaboration with Mois Multi, International Festival of Multidisciplinary and Electronic Arts.

Casteliers wishes to thank the Consulat général de France à Québec for its support.

ERSATZ is Julien Mellano’s freely fantasized projection of a future man. A potential monster, this man is the absurd result of the alchemy between humans and machines. The solitary specimen in ERSATZ seems to be a remnant of a disenchanted future, as he suffers the consequences of a technological revolution that hasn’t entirely regained its footing.
